We will start our adventure with an early departure from Barcelona to Carcassonne, a journey of approximately 3 hours by car. Upon arrival in Carcassonne, you will be amazed by the impressive Citadel, a medieval castle declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take time to explore its ramparts and towers, and don't miss the majestic Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, known for its beautiful stained glass windows.
First, we will head to the Narbonne Gate, the main entrance to the Citadel, where we will appreciate its imposing ramparts. We will explore the ramparts and climb the towers to enjoy panoramic views of the city and the surrounding landscape. We will visit the Castle of Carcassonne, where we will learn about the history of the fortress through interactive exhibits and a tour of its rooms. We will climb the keep, which offers spectacular views.
For lunch, we will enjoy a gastronomic day at one of the restaurants in the area.
As the sun begins to set, you will start your return to Girona, where you can end your day exploring the Dali Theater-Museum, inaugurated in 1974. It houses a collection of works donated by the famous Spanish artist Dalí himself, with more than 1 million visitors a year.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the museum's iconic façade, adorned with giant eggs and surrealist figures. The tour begins in the lobby, where some of Dalí's most iconic works are on display, reflecting his genius and unique style. As you move through the rooms, you will find a variety of paintings, sculptures, and curious objects that represent his artistic evolution.
Don't miss the Mae West Room, where the arrangement of the elements creates a three-dimensional image of the famous actress, and the Soft Watch Room, which evokes his famous work "The Persistence of Memory." The museum also houses a collection of works by other contemporary artists and a selection of Dalí's personal objects.
